Detailed Description

Representation of a GattServer characteristic.

A characteristic is a typed value enclosed in a GATT service (GattService).

Type

The type of the value defines the purpose of the characteristic, and a UUID represents it. Standard characteristic types may be consulted at https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/gatt/characteristics

Supported operations: A set of properties define what client operations the characteristic supports. See GattServer::Properties_t

Descriptors

Additional information, such as the unit of the characteristic value, a description string or a client control point, can be added to the characteristic.

See BLUETOOTH SPECIFICATION Version 4.2 [Vol 3, Part G] - 3.3.1.1

One of the most important types of descriptor is the Client Characteristic Configuration Descriptor (CCCD) that must be present if the characteristic properties allow a client to subscribe to updates of the characteristic value.

Characteristic breakdown

A characteristic is composed of several GATT attributes (GattAttribute):

Characteristic declaration: It contains the properties of the characteristic, its type and the handle of its value.
Characteristic value: The value of the characteristic.
Descriptors: A single GATT attribute stores each descriptor.

When the GattService containing the characteristic is registered in the GattServer, a unique attribute handle is assigned to the various attributes of the characteristic. Clients use this handle to interact with the characteristic. This handle is used locally in GattServer APIs.

Security requirements

Verification of security requirements happens whenever a client request to read the characteristic; write it or even register to its updates. Different requirements may be defined for these three type of operation. As an example: it is possible to define a characteristic that do not require security to be read and require an authenticated link to be written.

By default all security requirements are set to att_security_requirement_t::NONE except if the characteristic supports signed write; in such case the security requirement for write operations is set to att_security_requirement_t::UNAUTHENTICATED.

Note: If a peer uses an operation that is not set in the characteristic properties then the request request is discarded regardless of the security requirements and current security level. The only exception being signed write: signed write are converted into regular write without response if the link is encrypted.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GattCharacteristic()

GattCharacteristic	(	const UUID &	uuid,
		uint8_t *	valuePtr = `nullptr`,
		uint16_t	len = `0`,
		uint16_t	maxLen = `0`,
		uint8_t	props = `BLE_GATT_CHAR_PROPERTIES_NONE`,
		GattAttribute *	descriptors[] = `nullptr`,
		unsigned	numDescriptors = `0`,
		bool	hasVariableLen = `true`
	)

Constructs a new GattCharacteristic.

Parameters

[in]	uuid	The UUID of this characteristic.
[in]	valuePtr	Memory buffer holding the initial value. The value is copied into the Bluetooth subsytem when the enclosing service is added. Thereafter, the stack maintains it internally.
[in]	len	The length in bytes of this characteristic's value.
[in]	maxLen	The capacity in bytes of the characteristic value buffer.
[in]	props	An 8-bit field that contains the characteristic's properties.
[in]	descriptors	A pointer to an array of descriptors to be included within this characteristic. The caller owns the memory for the descriptor array, which must remain valid at least until the enclosing service is added to the GATT table.
[in]	numDescriptors	The number of descriptors presents in `descriptors` array.
[in]	hasVariableLen	Flag that indicates if the attribute's value length can change throughout time.

Note: If valuePtr is nullptr, length is equal to 0 and the characteristic is readable, then that particular characteristic may be considered optional and dropped while instantiating the service with the underlying BLE stack.; A Client Characteristic Configuration Descriptor (CCCD) should not be allocated if either the notify or indicate flag in the props bit field; the underlying BLE stack handles it.

Attention: GattCharacteristic registered in a GattServer must remain valid for the lifetime of the GattServer.

[in]	member	The member function that handles the read event.

Definition at line 1623 of file gatt/GattCharacteristic.h.

Definition at line 1636 of file gatt/GattCharacteristic.h.

◆ authorizeWrite()

GattAuthCallbackReply_t authorizeWrite ( GattWriteAuthCallbackParams * params )

Invoke the write authorization callback.

This function is a helper that calls the registered write handler to determine the authorization reply for a write request.

Attention: This function is not meant to be called by user code.

Parameters

[in] params Context of the write-auth request; it contains an out-parameter used as a reply.

Returns: A GattAuthCallbackReply_t value indicating whether authorization is granted.

Definition at line 1655 of file gatt/GattCharacteristic.h.

◆ authorizeRead()

GattAuthCallbackReply_t authorizeRead ( GattReadAuthCallbackParams * params )

Invoke the read authorization callback.

This function is a helper that calls the registered read handler to determine the authorization reply for a read request.

Attention: This function is not meant to be called by user code.

Parameters

[in,out] params Context of the read-auth request; it contains an out-parameter used as a reply and the handler can fill it with outgoing data. The params->data provides a pointer to the data and params->len provides the length of this data. params->len is also used to pass the maximum size of data that the params->data can contain. If you set the params->len to a value larger than the passed in value the read operation will fail.

Returns: A GattAuthCallbackReply_t value indicating whether authorization is granted.

Note: If the read is approved, the event handler can specify an outgoing value directly with the help of the fields params->data and params->len.; If the read request is approved and params->data remains nullptr, then the current characteristic value is used in the read response payload.; The params->len parameter initially contains the maximum length of data that can be returned. Set it to the length of your data but it must not be larger than the original value.; You must also take into account the offset provided in params->offset. The params->len you provide must be larger then the offset as the read operation will attempt to read at that offset.
